About This Event

DBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy that has been proven effective with a multitude of behavioral health challenges, including borderline personality disorder, suicidality and self-harm, mood disorders, and substance use. This introductory workshop will focus on and discuss an overview and orientation to basic DBT concepts including the structure and components that make up comprehensive DBT implementation.

Participants will be introduced to the stages of treatment and learn how DBT targets and prioritizes specific behaviors.

Additionally, participants will learn about dialectics and validation strategies and be provided foundational information on acceptance and change strategies.

1) explain the biosocial theory

2) Name all 5 modes of comprehensive DBT treatment
